Exa
Use Exa for web/code/company research (web_search_exa / get_code_context_exa / company_research_exa), with parameters and examples; trigger when online search or parameter checks are needed.
Overview
The Exa skill, part of the mxyhi/ok-skills repository, provides AI agents with advanced search capabilities for web, code, and corporate data. It integrates specific functions such as web_search_exa, get_code_context_exa, and company_research_exa to facilitate deep information retrieval. This tool is designed for compatibility with several popular AI environments, including Claude, Cursor, Codex, and OpenClaw. By leveraging the Exa API, the skill allows agents to perform targeted queries when online search or specific parameter checks are required. The mxyhi/ok-skills repository, which hosts this skill, has gained significant traction with over 400 stars. Users can implement this research tool to bridge the gap between static model knowledge and real-time web data, particularly for technical and business-oriented tasks.

Security Notes
The Exa skill requires an API connection to perform external searches. Users should manage their API credentials securely and review the data access permissions required by the mxyhi/ok-skills repository. As this tool facilitates external web queries, users should be aware of the information being transmitted to and from the Exa API during research tasks.
